Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the fields of plant genetic engineering and potato breeding technology, and in particular to the application of a high-temperature inducible promoter in potato breeding regulation. Background Technology

[0002] Potatoes are the fourth largest food crop after wheat, rice, and corn. Compared to other grains, potatoes are lower in calories and rich in dietary fiber, which can lower serum cholesterol and prevent gallstones, obesity, and various chronic diseases caused by obesity. Potatoes are a cold-loving plant; in high-temperature environments, their reproductive growth and tuber formation are severely affected. Nighttime temperatures of 25°C and above inhibit tuber formation, and stem and leaf growth ceases when the ambient temperature reaches 39°C. Therefore, studying the molecular mechanisms of potato response to high temperatures and further improving potato heat resistance through molecular biology and genetic engineering techniques has significant theoretical and practical value for breeding new heat-resistant and high-yielding potato varieties.

[0003] Heat shock proteins are strongly induced and rapidly accumulate under high temperatures, playing a crucial role in plant cell responses to heat stress. Based on their molecular weight, heat shock proteins can be classified into HSP100, HSP90, HSP70, HSP60, HSP40, and sHSP. Under heat stress, HSPs act as molecular chaperones in protein folding, transport, and degradation. The function of HSPs in potato heat tolerance has also been reported. HSP20s are a very important class of heat stress response genes. Currently, 48 HSP20s members have been identified in potatoes, and most of them can be rapidly and extensively expressed under heat stress.

[0004] SP6A is an important inducing factor for potato tuber formation. A miRNA (SUPPRESSING EXPRESSION OF SP6A, SES) targeting the transcription product of StSP6A exists in potatoes, and studies have shown that SES may be involved in the temperature-dependent regulation of StSP6A expression. Previous studies on high-temperature treatment of StSP6A overexpression lines found that overexpression of StSP6A with the 35S promoter restored tuber formation ability under high temperatures, but did not restore tuber yield. Researchers speculate that this may be related to the inhibition of sugar transport by high temperatures. Although the 35S promoter from cauliflower mosaic virus can widely initiate the expression of downstream genes with high abundance, this widespread and persistent gene expression can also affect plant growth and development to some extent. Numerous studies have shown that many overexpression lines constructed using the 35S promoter exhibit growth-inhibited phenotypes, and the 35S promoter is not active in all tissues and cells. Finally, studies have shown that the 35S promoter can not only regulate the expression of its driver genes but also affect the expression of neighboring genes, which further limits the use of the 35S promoter.

[0005] Therefore, exploring the heat resistance mechanism of potatoes and creating new potato materials that induce tuber formation at high temperatures remains crucial. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the aforementioned problems, the purpose of this invention is to provide an application of a high-temperature inducible promoter in potato breeding regulation.

[0030] The fifth objective of this invention is to provide a potato strain capable of tuber formation at high temperatures, prepared by the above method, which can form tubers normally at 28–31°C.

[0044] Example 1

[0045] This embodiment provides analysis of the high-temperature expression and sequence characteristics of potato HSPs.

[0046] Tissue culture seedlings E3 that had grown for 3 weeks were subjected to high-temperature treatment under the following conditions: 30℃ light / 28℃ darkness, with a light intensity of 83 μmol / m². –2 s –1 The treatment involved 16 hours of light followed by 8 hours of darkness.

[0073] Example 3

[0074] This embodiment provides a method for preparing a potato line with high-temperature tuber formation ability, including the following steps:

[0075] (1) Preparation of bacterial culture: The expression vectors pHSP101:SP6A, pHSP101:SP6AM, pHSP70:SP6A, and pHSP70:SP6AM prepared in Example 2 were transformed into Agrobacterium GV3101 by freeze-thaw method to obtain the corresponding engineered bacteria.

[0076] The engineered bacteria were inoculated into 4 mL of YEB liquid medium supplemented with 50 mg / L kanamycin and 50 mg / L rifampin, respectively, and cultured on a shaker at 28 °C and 220 r / min for 24 h to obtain the culture solution;

[0077] Take 3 mL of culture medium into 50 mL of YEB liquid medium containing 50 mg / L Kana and 50 mg / L rifampin, and incubate at 28 °C and 240 r / min on a shaker until the OD600 is 0.5. Then transfer the culture medium to a 50 mL centrifuge tube, centrifuge at 4600 r / min for 6 min, discard the supernatant, and resuspend the precipitate in 50 mL of MS liquid medium containing 3% (w / v) sucrose to obtain Agrobacterium suspension.

[0078] (2) Infection and co-culture: The test tube potatoes that have grown for 10-14 weeks and have a diameter of about 0.5 cm are picked and placed in sterile dishes. They are fixed and cut into 2-3 mm thin slices with flaming forceps and scalpels. All the cut potato slices are transferred with forceps to the Agrobacterium suspension (4 kinds of Agrobacterium suspension) obtained in step (1) and soaked for 10 min. Then the bacterial suspension is discarded, and the potato slices are transferred to a culture dish with sterile filter paper to absorb the bacterial liquid on the surface of the potato slices. After 20 min, they are transferred to the co-culture medium and placed in a dark incubator at 25℃ for 2 days.

[0079] The co-culture medium was based on MS basal medium, supplemented with 3% sucrose (w / v), 0.2 mg / L IAA, 0.2 mg / L GA3, 0.5 mg / L 6-BA, and 2 mg / L ZT (all final concentrations).

[0080] (3) Bud differentiation and rooting: The potato slices cultured in step (2) were transferred to a co-culture medium containing 5 mg / L hygromycin, 200 mg / L cephalosporin and 200 mg / L termethin, and cultured under conditions of 2000 lx light intensity, 16 h light + 8 h dark photoperiod, and 23 ± 1 ℃ temperature. After 21 to 28 days, resistant buds grew from the center of the test tube potato slices. When the resistant buds reached 1.5 cm to 2 cm in length, they were cut off and transferred to MS liquid medium containing 5 mg / L hygromycin and 200 mg / L cephalosporin for rooting and selection culture, thereby obtaining transgenic potato seedlings (pHSP101:SP6A potato transgenic seedlings, pHSP101:SP6AM potato transgenic seedlings, pHSP70:SP6A potato transgenic seedlings, and pHSP70:SP6AM potato transgenic seedlings, respectively).

[0081] (4) Identification of positive plants: Genomic DNA was extracted from four types of transgenic potato seedlings using the CTAB method, and PCR was performed to identify the exogenous inserted fragments. The primers used for identification are shown in Table 4.

[0083]

[0084] Among them, the pHSP101:SP6A, pHSP101:SP6AM, pHSP70:SP6A, and pHSP70:SP6AM potato transgenic seedlings were successfully identified and will be used for further research.

[0085] Example 4

[0086] This embodiment provides a laser confocal microscopy method for identifying the expression level of GFP protein in thermally induced expression lines.

[0087] The potato transgenic seedlings (pHSP101:SP6A potato transgenic seedlings, pHSP101:SP6AM potato transgenic seedlings, pHSP70:SP6A potato transgenic seedlings, pHSP70:SP6AM potato transgenic seedlings) successfully identified in Example 3 and the E3 wild-type seedlings tissue culture seedlings grown for 3 weeks were subjected to high sugar induction to form tubers.

[0088] Specifically, robust seedlings of pHSP101:SP6A, pHSP101:SP6AM, pHSP70:SP6A, and pHSP70:SP6AM potato transgenic seedlings were selected. These seedlings were then cut into stem segments and inserted into MS liquid medium containing 8% (w / v) sucrose and 2‰ (w / v) activated carbon. The culture conditions were a light intensity of 83 μmol / m². - 2 s -1 After 8 hours of light exposure followed by 16 hours of darkness (photocycle), potato tubers induced for 6 weeks were examined under a laser confocal microscope to observe GFP fluorescence. The GFP fusion protein expression results are as follows: Figure 3 As shown, this indicates that GFP protein was successfully expressed in all four types of transgenic potato seedlings.

[0089] Example 5

[0090] This embodiment provides phenotypic identification of heat-induced expression lines after in vitro tuber formation under high-temperature treatment.

[0091] High-sugar induction and high-temperature treatment experiments were conducted on the successfully identified potato transgenic seedlings (pHSP101:SP6A, pHSP101:SP6AM, pHSP70:SP6A, and pHSP70:SP6AM) and E3 wild-type seedlings that had grown for 3 weeks. Strong seedlings from the pHSP101:SP6A, pHSP101:SP6AM, pHSP70:SP6A, and pHSP70:SP6AM seedlings were selected, and stem segments were inserted into MS liquid medium containing 8% (w / v) sucrose and 2‰ (w / v) activated carbon. The culture conditions were a light intensity of 83 μmol / m². -2 s -1 The culture was conducted with 8 hours of light followed by 16 hours of darkness (photocycle). Two temperature groups were established: room temperature (22℃ light + 18℃ darkness) and high temperature (30℃ light + 28℃ darkness). Each line was placed in 2-3 boxes, with 5-9 plants per box. After 8 weeks of continuous high-temperature treatment, the tuber formation phenotype of the tissue culture seedlings was observed and statistically analyzed. The plant phenotypes are as follows: Figure 4 As shown in Tables 5 and 6, the tuber formation rate statistics of the expression lines are as follows: pHSP101:SP6A-1 (labeled as 101A-1), pHSP101:SP6AM-11 (labeled as 101M-11), and pHSP70:SP6AM-8 (labeled as 70M-8) all have the ability to form tubers at high temperatures after in vitro induction of tubers and high temperature treatment.

[0095]

[0096]

[0097] Example 6

[0098] This embodiment provides identification of tuber formation phenotype in heat-induced expression lines.

[0099] Plantlets of the heat-resistant lines (pHSP101:SP6A-1, pHSP101:SP6AM-11, and pHSP70:SP6AM-8) initially identified through high-sugar-induced tuber formation were transplanted into nutrient soil after 3 weeks of cultivation. Tuber formation was induced at 22℃ with 16 hours of light and 8 hours of darkness. After 4 weeks of growth, tuber formation was induced again with 8 hours of light and 16 hours of darkness. Three plants were treated at room temperature (22℃ light / 18℃ darkness), and three plants were treated at high temperature (31℃ light / 28℃ darkness). Tuber phenotypes were analyzed at 12 weeks. Tuber phenotypes are as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the results indicate that, compared with wild-type E3, the pHSP101:SP6A-1, pHSP101:SP6AM-11, and pHSP70:SP6AM-8 lines have stronger tuber-forming ability under high temperature.

[0100] Example 7

[0101] This embodiment provides identification of tuber formation phenotype and gene expression analysis of heat-induced expression lines in field trials during high-temperature weather.

[0102] The pHSP101:SP6A-1, pHSP101:SP6AM-11, pHSP70:SP6A-14, and pHSP70:SP6AM-8 lines were transplanted into a greenhouse from April 12, 2024 to August 14, 2024 (Shanghai). During the seedling stage (early May), the daytime temperature inside the greenhouse reached 30℃. After full tuber formation, the tuber phenotype of the expression lines under high temperature was tested. The tuber phenotype and statistical results are as follows: Figure 6 As shown, the relative expression level analysis of the SP6A gene is as follows: Figure 7 As shown in the figure. Field trials showed that, compared with the wild type, the pHSP101:SP6A-1, pHSP101:SP6AM-11, pHSP70:SP6A-14, and pHSP70:SP6AM-8 lines exhibited significantly increased tuber number per plant, maximum tuber weight, and tuber starch content under high-temperature conditions. SP6A gene expression was also significantly induced. Therefore, the pHSP101:SP6A-1, pHSP101:SP6AM-11, pHSP70:SP6A-14, and pHSP70:SP6AM-8 lines possess strong heat-resistant tuber formation capabilities and also increase tuber starch content. These lines can be used for the breeding of heat-resistant potato varieties, laying the foundation for further research on the tuber development mechanism of potatoes under high temperatures.
